Power seat question	Permalink

I'm swapping out seats on my 96 XJ. I need to remove the power switch module from the side of my original seat to mount it on my replacement seat. How do I get the module out? The seat is completely out and the power motor/rail set has been unmounted also. I just can't get the switch module off my seat. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. __________________

Well Chrysler in their infinite design wisdom made the switch panel with a cover, then the switch housing, the cover which snaps onto the swtich housing which was then screwed to the seat frame which had another plastic retainer housing which the whole assembly slid into. When I finall ygot the cover off I could remove the screws and then remove the switch housing. Needless to say I did not screw the switch housing into the new seat frame. The friction locks will hold it in. A really stupid design. Much more complex than it needed to be.
